WOOT!!!
Personal validation! I've previously posted a few comments about using the G-Gnomes to accelerate training and education.
IXY: "I have good news and bad news."
Grayven: "The good news?"
IXY: "We've been able to telepathically accelerate training and education."
Grayven: "And the bad news?"
IXY:
"The mental strain has caused... unexpected side effects..."Guardian 2.0: (singing) "Uptown Girl! She's been living in her white bread world~!"

???Speaking of contingency plans and training replacements, at the moment only OL and Zatanna has any strong social connections to John Constantine and the Tate Club.
If anything happened to OL, the League would loose access to the Tate Club's valuable "peripheral resources"(?) as Zatanna lacks the time, charisma, and meta-knowledge needed to "nurture"(?) such connections and use them to their full potential.
Possible trainees: maybe Abra Kadabra as part of a work release program, Deadman, Bull Devil, Gypsy, Ragman, Bloodwynd, maybe Metamorpho, maybe Jinx if she isn't with H.I.V.E. yet, etc.

The closest parallel I can think of would be how in "Naruto", the spy-master Jiraiya never trained him to take over his network of informants and contacts. I've seen a few fanfics where Tsunade panics upon realizing it'd take Konoha years if not decades to rebuild their intelligence/espionage assets due to Jiraiya focusing entirely on Naruto's combat skills.
I forget, whatever happened to Nyssa Raatko's Danner research at Lexcorp? Was the data destroyed? Or did it fall into someone else's hands?
Will knowledge on the industrial applications of alchemy, sorcery, and arcane performance enhancers spread to other groups?
And don't forget that Senator Knight has been spearheading a committee to boost America's magical defenses. I know in Marvel comics, S.H.I.E.L.D. retconned a new subdivision called W.A.N.D. (Wizardry Alchemy and Necromancy Department) for dealing with supernatural threats that the police can't handle but aren't enough of a threat to call in the military or the Avengers, taking care of low and mid-level threats so the Avengers can focus on bigger issues: keeping the vampire pollution in check (Blade can't be everywhere), keeping taps on arcane dabblers who know just enough to bite off more than they can chew, etc.

:lol And Power Rings are awesome.
Yeah! Leave the poor AIs and undeads alone!
I thought Sinestro and Abin Sur were the best Greenies??
Wow, that version of Captain America could just about eat dinner by putting a plate on top of his chest without it falling off. It's like he has someone else's chest grafted on top of his chest. He should change his name to Pectoral Man.That... might actually be worse than Liefeld.
... or maybe not.
Still, the art in that other comic was even worse. At least Liefield doesn't look like something doodled by a high school student.
She was at the time of her kidnapping at least but pregnancy is a rather temporary condition and that was in September.

Like I said, it varies. They were both held up as great heroes of the Corps during their respective periods of activity. Abin Sur trained Sinestro and Sinestro trained Hal as well in some continuities so there's a teacher student line thing.
During GL Rebirth and the period immediately following it Hal got a big reputation boost. In currently contemporary comics Hal's off with the Corps, John's trapped back at the dawn of time, and I can't remember what happened to Kyle and Guy. Meanwhile, the newest GLs Simon Baz and the former Power Ring Jessica Cruz are working as Earth's GLs. Both of them have some Word of God "Best GL Ever" stuff going on too. Simon because he used his ring to heal his brother out of a coma, and Jessica from a Narrator prophecy.
So yeah, writers aren't consistent.

Now that I can agree on totally.
:lol
On the other hand, several characters with super-strength can fly. For superheroes who fly like Superman, able to move in an arbitrary direction in the air at will, shouldn't their flying power inherently give them leverage for all feats of super-strength?
(Although it's certainly possible that their fly power is not strong enough to give them leverage for their full maximum strength.)

I had a segment which explicitly stated that she'd given birth. The SI took King Orin's father to visit them.
Well remembered.
It does, but strength by itself doesn't.
That cartoon is stupid if taken seriously. Being literally able to affect anything that lives in the water doesn't make sense because "things that live in water" is a category that includes things that aren't very related and are more closely related to other things. It's like having a power "can only be used on things that were bought on sale". It would also mean he'd be able to mentally command Atlanteans.
Also, Cthulhu was imprisoned underwater. There's not much sign that he's a water creature, August Derleth notwithstanding.

I bet OL could score major brownie points by offering Queen Mera alternative ways to better protect baby Arthur Junior, which the protective mother would appreciate.
Canon "Aquababy" was murdered via asphyxiation. Anyone know a reasonable way to extend the length of time Aquababy can survive out of water? For example, could Sephtian, Zatanna, John Constantine, and Cornwall Boy combine their magicks to make Aquababy fully amphibious via biomancy?
Can Atlanteans be safely Dannered or Garricked? Given the loyalty of Poseidonis military and citizenship, I can picture dozens of volunteers if they knew it meant helping Arthur Junior live a long and happy life. And just imagine the parental horror of having a speedster toddler.
Others:
=As a royal family, do Atlanteans insist on "an heir and a spare"? Queen Mera gave birth in February and its now April, so I figure the Poseidonis nobility/bureaucracy will wait at least six months before they start dropping suggestions about having a second child.
=With OL helping the Amazons get pregnant, I'm surprised he hasn't been trapped in an elevator or traffic jam and forced to help deliver a child.

It was a joke. No one was taking it seriously. Look at the ratings on the post.
That said. Aquaman fights DC'S version of Cthulhu (the night gods) every year, and wins.

Two things:
Billy Joel? That is a clear sign that the project needs to be scrapped and all evidence eradicated.
Secondly, minor nitpick, but the Gravy isn't enlightened, so no banana flavored quotation marks for him.

Plastic Man is one of the better investigators in the League. He's a jokester and plays the fool, but he'snot as stupid as he portrays himself. (Still not the brightest, and that's one of his flaws, but he's not as stupid as he comes across)
He's immune to telepathy / psionic attack due to the nature of his shapeshifting. His brain just shifts and changes constantly to the point of being functionally eldritch.
He's indestructible even by the standards of the League. Yes, there are some things that can kill him that wouldn't kill Superman, but not many, and they're pretty absurd things (Like Omega Beams). He's immune to physical trauma, and heat might stop him for a time but it won't actually injure him. If you literally vaporize him you might stop him for a bit, but not permanently or even for all that long. Cold is the only real way to take him down in any lasting capacity, and even then it isn't great. He has absolute control over his molecular / atomic structure, as in every atom of his body is technically a part of his consciousness and can be controlled individually. The "scattered throughout the ocean for thousands of years and put himself back together" feat isn't hyperbole.
He's very strong, but exactly how strong varies immensely, you'd have to ask Zoat for a more specific guestimate as to his strength. Probably not Superman level, likely topping out at Wonder Woman / Aquaman level. On top of his absolutely bullshit tier shapeshifting.
The only things he could conceivably have to work on are his 'vulnerability' to magic and cold. Oh, and being utterly atomized and scattered across the planet or further or being dropped into a black hole or non-existence rays. Y'know, weaknesses totally unique and specific to him.
